Medal of Honor goes modern

Shrugging off years of mediocrity and partially descriptive subtitles, EA's newly announced Medal of Honor reboot will thrust players into a modern milieu: Afghanistan. Set for release in 2010 on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the new first-person shooter follows the Tier 1 Operator, described as "a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle," and not described as an oddly militant member of ZZ Top. EA claims that "Tier 1 Operators from the US Special Operations Community" have been involved since the earliest stages of the game's development.

The publisher seems intent on throwing the gauntlet down in the modern war arena (do they still use gauntlets?), promising a "best-in-class single-player campaign" from the minds at EA Los Angeles, as well as a multiplayer component developed by the Battlefield veterans at DICE.

You can bear witness to the game's full unveiling during Spike TV's 2009 Video Game Awards on Saturday, December 12 at 8:00PM PT. You can witness beard in the gallery below.

Soon or later it was bound to happen just like Call of Duty. I grew up with the medal of honor games on the playstation 1 till cod1 came along on the PC.

MOH:AA was my first love with FPS games on PC, fucking loved that game.

Afghanistan sounds kinda boring

Yep, waking up to RPG's is pretty boring.

Here's to a good game, hopefully.

DICE handling MP. I'm in.

Haha, I was joking with a friend a few weeks back about them relasing a Medal of Honor: Recent Combat after CoD beat them at the whole WWII shooter thing. Guess it wasn't too far fetched after all.

I thought it was a joke at first, considering the picture bears such a striking resemblance to combat beard guy:

Here's hoping for no more health packs :<

[Seanr]

lol @ both bearded men.. and "recent combat"

I used to play the MoHs on PS1... ill give this a try

[Vincento]

I used to love MoH games, but it feels like there are just way too many FPS's being released nowadays - there are at least what, 8(?) on the front of the gaming section at least. Where's the variety I say! With that, I'll prolly still try this.

[Gekii]

lol, it finally happened

[Dymlos]

About time, I got sick and tired of all the FPS games in WWII era; so much that I refuse to play anymore WWII games.

Big Kimbo Slice Is the main character of the new MOH!!!! This is a must buy for me.

[Meresgi]

I'll look into this game more then CoD. Activision has let me down as a company with their new policies.

[Epical]

I think I was the only person who loved Airborne (but when I say loved I mean LOVED)... so if it's anything like it gameplay-wise, I'm down for sure.

Afghanistan sounds kinda boring

Not to mention Afghanistan has some of the most intricate war terrain

Didn't play much MW2 multiplayer myself, but this shit looks identical. Was hoping it would be more like BF2 scale (I guess I was asking too much?)

[Brill Weave]

Well between MW2 and BC2 there really isn't much room for innovation. Both games have set the bar really high imo. So when it comes down to it MOH is kind of running uphill on this one. I will probably pick it up after reading some reviews on it since I loved the first entries into the series.

[sruon]

October 2010 is kinda far to pre-order, anyone is in the beta? (starting today if you preorder + have BFBC2).

May pre-order if it turns out nice
